Agbeyewa Farms Charts Bold Expansion, Deepens Job Creation Drive for 2026.

The Chairman of Agbeyewa Farms, Mr. Niyi John Olajide, has reaffirmed the company’s commitment to using agriculture as a powerful engine for job creation, inclusive growth, and community transformation, as the firm steps into 2026 with ambitious expansion plans.

In a New Year message personally signed by the Chairman, Mr. Olajide expressed gratitude to God and optimism about the year ahead, noting that agriculture—when driven by clarity of purpose and strong execution—has the capacity to transform lives, livelihoods, and entire communities.

According to the Chairman, 2026 presents significant opportunities for Agbeyewa Farms to deepen its impact, scale its operations, and further position agribusiness as a catalyst for shared prosperity, particularly in Ekiti State where the company’s flagship operations are located.

“We are here in Ekiti State not simply to farm, but to demonstrate that agriculture, built on a strong and integrated value chain, can create employment at scale, restore dignity to work, and unlock economic potential,” he said.

Mr. Olajide further explained that Agbeyewa Farms remains focused on building a solid cassava value chain that spans cultivation, aggregation, processing, and agro-trading. This end-to-end model, he noted, enables the company to create value at every stage while opening sustainable opportunities for farmers, young people, processors, transporters, and entrepreneurs within the 

agricultural ecosystem.

He emphasized that job creation lies at the heart of the company’s mission—not just in terms of numbers, but through the provision of sustainable and dignified livelihoods that strengthen families and encourage young Nigerians to see agriculture as a viable long-term career path.

Looking ahead, the Chairman disclosed that Agbeyewa Farms will significantly increase its investment in people in 2026 through skills development, stronger partnerships with smallholder farmers, and the scaling of its operations. These efforts, he said, are designed to create the right conditions for young Nigerians to thrive across the agricultural value chain.

The year also marks a new phase of growth for the agribusiness firm, with plans to deepen its footprint in Ekiti State, strengthen its processing capacity, and lay the foundation for expansion into new locations across the country.

“Our guiding principle remains simple: to leave every community we enter better than we met it,” Mr. Olajide stated.

He concluded by thanking Agbeyewa Farms’ employees, partners, host communities, and the media for their trust and support, noting that their confidence continues to inspire the company to uphold the highest standards and deliver lasting impact.

With a renewed sense of purpose, Agbeyewa Farms says it is poised to create greater value in 2026 while inspiring the next generation of agribusiness leaders in Nigeria.
